I walk down by the river every morning with the dog for my exercise. I have purchased thermal pants, wool socks, waterproof boots and a fleece neckwarmer that I can bring up over my nose. I wear Bose headphones over my ears and with my coat hood that keeps my head toasty. I want to add ski glasses and snowshoes as the…

If you have actually listened to the guy and that is the conclusion you come to then, of course, you are allowed to think that. I happen to disagree, which is also okay. I was following up to two people who made blanket statements about the man - particularly the whole "white man" angle to it which imo immediately makes…

Aside from the diet thing which I also think is questionable, everything else you said is propaganda about a guy who doesn't take the "acceptable" position on some issues. I'm curious if you have actually listened to him in complete context or just read your acceptable publications versions of what he says. Might I…

We are starting this on Monday so I will join your post :-) We are doing the whole family, though my youngest will be allowed milk because she cried about that when we talked about it as a family and I don't think it is mentally healthy to deny a 8 year old like that. My exercise goals are a brisk walk at least 4 times a…

I have allowed my 14 year old to sign up for MFP because she was upset about her weight as compared to her peers. She isn't actually over weight, just at the higher end of "normal" - but she wanted tools to help her make better choices and to see how different foods impact her so I decided to okay it. I did research to see…

It may be unsustainable for you, but that does not mean unsustainable for others. Many people (including myself) find themselves with health issues that require limiting things like sodium. At this point, the only way I can make my sodium goals and still eat anything remotely satisfying is to eliminate almost all processed…

I'm new here, I hope it is still active as I just recently was told to put myself on the DASH diet to get my blood pressure down. I've only been back on MFP since Monday and I have a feeling that doing this is going to force me to finally lose weight. I love chips and cheese, all these things have a ton of sodium.…

32 pounds in 3 weeks....I'm calling *kitten*. Are we allowed to do that?

5'4" SW 200 CW 195 GW 150 UGW 135 - but I'm not sure I could actually keep this up. I like how I look at 150, I have a med build and big boobs. Once I hit 150 I will primarily focus on staying healthy and fit - if I continue to drop fine, if I don't also fine.

I'm with you, I just came back as well and I'm feeling very discouraged about myself. We can do this.

Considering that one of the reasons medical mj was legalized was because it encouraged cancer patients to eat ... how could anyone actually think that the munchies were a myth?

I have the BEST cleavage

Maybe I should just wear my hair in my next selfie

I had to HIPPO from page one with the ladies describing the horrible things they are doing to support the large boobies. You must go look at http://www.titlenine.com/ They have AMAZING sports bras for the well endowed. They are rated by barbell, four barbells will hold the largest chest in place. I'm a huge fan of the…

I know that, which is why I started watching my food intake - but her point was more around starting something to get into a better cycle of habits. My problem was that I was really down on myself and feeling like anything I did was pointless. By exercising a little every day my mood improved greatly and I was able to…

Someone mentioned The Fresh 20 up thread and I wanted to second that. The food is fantastic and its a very simple system, the most you will pay for the service is $5 a month. Fresh 20 offers a regular, vegetarian, Kosher, gluten free, and single serve versions. We love it in my family though I do sometimes get lazy about…

My Dr said that exercise was the more important of the two when I discussed it with her. I started just exercising and realized that I would probably do better if I watched my food intake as well. Its only been a short time but I know that historically, I do much better if I burn that candle at both ends.

I'm a noobie around here, but I was wondering, are you eating back your exercise calories? If you are eating 1200 and not eating back your exercise you may have slowed down your metabolism. Also, from what I understand it is harder to lose the lower you get down.

Just a word of encouragement here, I have been biking every day for 2 weeks now and on MFP for a little under a week. I take the GNC energy and metabolism daily vitamin supplement. My mood and energy levels have done a 180. Just a week ago I was struggling to get my butt on my bike - the last two days I have been trying to…

I really think this is very individual. I find that if I have a large sit down breakfast I am far more satisfied for the rest of the day. If I have coffee for breakfast, I'm constantly wanting to eat.

I'm new to MFP, my exercise is a 40 min round trip on my Townie to the dog park with my 3 yr old in a trailer and my Aussie by my side. I would like to branch out to some easy trails around Santa Cruz in the next week. I think I want to have my bike serviced before I do that though. Any tips on wheels? I think mine are…
